An old, blind cowboy wanders into an all-girl biker bar by mistake.He finds his way to a bar stool and orders some coffee.After sitting there for a while, he yells to the waiter,"Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?"The bar immediately falls absolutely silent.... In a very deep, husky voice, the woman next to him says,"Before you tell that joke, Cowboy, I think it is only fair,considering that you are blind, that you should know five things:1. The bartender is a blonde girl with a baseball bat.2. The bouncer is a blonde girl.3. I'm a 6-foot tall, 175-pound blonde woman with a blackbelt in karate.4.. The woman sitting next to me is blonde and a professionalweightlifter.5. The lady to your right is blonde and a professional wrestler.Now, think about it seriously, Mister. Do you still wanna tell that joke?"The blind cowboy thinks for a second, shakes his head, and mutters,"No...not if I'm gonna have to explain it five times."

On a side note, something that has been bugging the living FUCK out of me lately.Ever heard someone, usually a teacher, say "AIN'T ain't a word!"?Wrong."Ain't" IS a word! Ziltak, zufu, zorkom, now THOSE are NOT words...not that I know of. At least not in "PROPER" English. Ahh, there's the KEY word: PROPER."Ain't" is indeed a word...a SLANG word. Not a PROPER word. Thus, this negates the completely MORONIC statement "AIN'T ain't a word!" now DOESN'T IT?! I have to ask, WHO IS THE FUCKING ASSHOLE WHO FIRST SAID "AIN'T AIN'T A WORD!" and WHY DIDN'T SOMEBODY DO WHAT WE CALL IN MY PARTS "BLACK-JACK HIS ASS WITH A CROWBAR"!!!!!!!!!!What about "won't"?! How the HELL is THAT a "word"?! How does that even quality as a slang word??? You mean to tell me somebody took the words "will" and "not", and instead of making it "willn't" which, well that doesn't really work now does it!?!?!? Ok, so they said "Fuck that! Urm, how about uhhhh, WON'T! Ya know, it sounds like DON'T!" Alright, nothing wrong with that, according to esteemed linguist, right? SO THEN WHAT IN THE FUCK IS SO BAD ABOUT "AIN'T"?!?!?!?!? After all, "ain't" is FAR more versatile than "won't"!!! Won't is just a contraction of will not. Ain't, on the other hand, can be used in place of: is not, are not, am not, are not, and much much more!!!!!!!!! Imagine that! A slang word that blows the BARELY "proper" word "won't" right out of the water!!!!!!! Suck on that, grammar police!!!

And this is why people like me are so unpopular, I speak the truth.In this world so full of fucking pure phony lame bullshit like American Idol, Jersey Shitshore, Oprah/Dr. Swill, and 9 trillion metric tons of bullshit "reality" tv, the truth is fiction to most.

How come it's "your money" says the GOPigs when it comes to Social Security privatization, BUT NOT WHEN BOA RIPS YOU OFF FOR $5 A MONTH to use what IS *YOUR* goddamn money via debit card?!!?!?!

And anybody remember like 5 years ago when all you heard what you MUST have a debit card? One freakin bank commercial after another after another on that. And some banks like Suntrust are flying under the radar with their horseshit, like soon they'll be charging anybody who has less than $500 in the account a $7 "maintenance fee". How come nobody is talking about that along with BOA's bullshit $5 a month fee for having a debit card?!?!? It's time for EVERYBODY to go with a local bank or better still A CREDIT UNION.

Lame, pat, pre-packaged putdowns of Occupy Wall Street: We all deal with 'em, whether we're arguing with a neighbor, appearing on Fox, or answering the jeers of relatives who've just received a chain email that "really puts the protesters in their place."

Here are a few easy comebacks for your next argument. They cover everything from the supposed "hypocrisy" of demonstrators who buy cardboard (really!) to snarky comments about scruffy-looking anticapitalists with beards.

1. They say "Oh, look. The demonstrators buy stuff from corporations!" You say "Whaddya expect? Corporate lackeys in government have forced everybody else out of business!"

I don't know who came up with this lame picture, but it's making the rounds on Wall Street - and with all the other Americans co-opted by its propaganda:

Hey, bankers! Is that the best you've got? Really? Because this picture is so lame that it actually gave us several of our talking points. We'll start with this one:

Corporations get generous tax breaks for not hiring people and shipping jobs overseas instead. They make money from those free trade agreements pushed through by their functionaries in the government. And Wall Street's making billions for not lending to smaller businesses that might compete with some of those mega-corporations.

Now you're calling the demonstrators hypocrites for buying stuff from corporations. Who else are they going to buy it from? Everyone else was driven out of business!

Want to know something ironic? If the demonstrators had their way, most businesses in this country would actually do better. Why? Because the banks aren't lending to anybody but the mega-corporations who are already sitting on a ton of cash.

If the system was reformed, banks would lend to those smaller and medium-sized businesses that actually hire people. What's more, debt relief for the American consumer would unleash a buying wave that would spur widespread economic growth.

These "anti-business" protesters would be great for businesses - all, that is, except for the dishonest and socially useless ones. You know, like the ones that underwrite politicians, think tanks, and television networks - who then proceed to make fun of demonstrations, as they're paid to do.

And you wonder why they're protesting?

3. They say "But it's hypocritical to buy corporate products and then protest corporations!" You say "You sound like a Communist."

That's right - like a Communist. I spent a lot of time in Eastern Europe as protests very much like these were overthrowing the Soviet empire. You know what the old-timers in those countries said back then? They said "These people are protesting the State, but they're wearing clothes made at state-run factories and waving signs made with state resources! What hypocrites!"

(Well, they said it in Hungarian, or Czech, or Polish. But the meaning was the same.)

Tell your debate opponents they sound just like old Commies as they defend the uncompetitive, inflexible, and totalitarian system the corporations now run. Don't blame the demonstrators. They can't operate within the new system until we've reformed the old one.

That's why they're protesting.

4. They say "Did you know they paid all the TARP money back? They weren't bailed out." You say "Fine! Give every consumer in the country an interest-free loan!"

This is one of the inept moves that CNN's Erin Burnett tried on a protester. She, and everybody else using this line, must be either confused or financially illiterate.

Here's how the real world works: If you (we, actually) lend the banks a trillion dollars at 3% below the usual rates, that's the same as giving them a cash gift of $30 billion -- even if they pay all the money back!

And when you count the Federal Reserve's actions, like purchasing the banks' toxic assets through the "Maiden Lane" dummy corporation, the bankers have gotten billions more in additionalbailout money. The demonstrators are right:A few mega-banks destroyed the economy, and we bailed them out.

This argument's as hollow as a mega-bank's promise. And that's why they're protesting.

5. They say "But still, they buy corporate stuff!" You say "They're called Occupy Wall Street, not Occupy Main Street. Anybody in that picture using an ATM?"

They keep coming back to this one, for some reason. That's why the picture says things like "hat by J. Crew." Oh, snap! Oh, wait -- what's your point again?

Economic theory says that one of the basic elements of a free market is transparency. Yet as of this writing Wall Street's fighting tooth and nail [1]against a process that would allow more transparency in the derivatives market. They don't want transparency - and that means they don't want a free market.

We haven't had a free market for decades. We've had a lootocracy that makes money through deception, confusion, and obfuscation.

People should conduct their business in the light of day - and gambling with other people's money should be illegal. The words "free market" and the phrase "Wall Street" don't belong in the same paragraph, much less the same sentence.

That's why they're protesting.

7. They say "Ha ha! Look at that bearded guy in the sandals!" You say "Hmmm ... A bearded guy in sandals protesting the moneylenders. Where have we seen that before?"

They love making fun of the demonstrators' looks, but it's pretty difficult to step outside the system and live outdoors without looking a little rough in the eyes of the moneyed classes. Jesus and his disciples probably looked pretty rough to some people, too. I'm sure the rich people looked down their noses at Him after He overturned those tables. That's not done in polite company.

Think about it: A guy rides into town on a donkey. Then he says the moneyed interests are exerting too much influence on the government - and on some of the religious elite, too. And what was that about the wealthy? Oh, yeah - "It's easier for a camel to pass through a needle's eye than for a rich man to enter heaven."

3,000 years of moral law[2] condemns people who make excess profits from money without contributing to society. Every single prophet to make those arguments - which is to say, all of them - was condemned by the plutocracy of the day.

And that's why they'rewe're protesting. I've been to New York's demonstration, and Washington's. Next stop is LA. But they're all over the country.

IIf you haven't been to one yet, why not stop by? 'm not an organizer, just an admirer, but consider this an official invitation: Your presence is requested as democracy - and history - unfold before us.

Dress is casual. If you're part of the 99%, come as your are. (Sandals optional.)

I wish I had a tv...for once...cuz on the 27th @ 10pm BEAVIS & BUTTHEAD RETURNS!!!!!!!!!!

And now to what I was REALLY going to post about! Uhh, like, now I forgot!!!!

Oh yeah, I gotta hand it to y'all in Eastern Europe for the massive spike in hits! Just a few things to remember, if you move to the USA, DO NOT move to Florida! Unless you like hot weather, stupid phony people, jobs that don't pay worth a tinkers damn, and I could go on and on, but I think you get the idea. Like Bugs Bunny said best "It's a nice place to visit, but I sure wouldn't wanna live there." And I'm not so sure about the visit part...

Also if you aren't broke like most people, cough up a few bucks and check out the other BTLS shiz on RadioIO which include Bubba LIVE & UN-censored weekdays 10:30am-12:30pm ET, specialty shows by Spice Boy, Brent, and yes even Shannon Burke does shows on Bubba 2 now, no really no shit! Anyways, Bubba 1 is FREE if you're broke like us 99%, so you have NO excuse to not listen to the regular-radio show, unless it's a good one!

A new Nine Inch Nails cover of U2’s “Zoo Station” will appear on Q Magazine’s upcoming tribute album to Achtung Baby. The album will be included free in the magazine’s October 25th issue. More info and track listing here.

Old news. Well, to us who pay attention that is. Houston is probably still more smogged-out than LA, though I haven't seen a recent figure on the smog levels. Now just ponder that that's JUST smog. What other types of pollution lurk?! I bet Rick Perry's shadow knows!!!!!!! Once again THANK YOU YAHOO FOR THE "SHORT" LINK! YA PRICKS!!!!!!!!!!!
